These virtual drives should be created using supported emulators like the Vice c64 emulator software so as to open and access the content of these G64 files.As mentioned earlier, the Vice C64 emulator program can be used to open and view the data in these .g64 files. This software can also be used to create G64 disk images from diskettes and hard disks in an 8-bit Commodore 64 computer, as well as edit its content and create virtual drives where these .g64 files can be opened and played.
